■Ensure that no part of the leather is soaked through during cleaning and
that no water gets into the seams.
■ Do not clean the roof panelling with a brush – risk of damage to the surface
of the panelling.
■ Do not use solvents, floor wax, shoe cream, stain remover or similar agents
on Alcantara ®
seat upholstery.
■ Some clothing fabrics (e.g. dark denim) do not have sufficient colour fast-
ness - this may leave evident marks on upholstery. This is not a defect in the
fabric.
■ Sharp objects on garments (e.g. zips, rivets, sharp- edged belts) can dam-
age the upholstery fabrics in the vehicle. Such damage cannot be subse-
quently recognised as a justified complaint.■
Plastic parts ■ Do not attach scents or air fresheners to the dashboard – there is a risk of
damage to the dashboard.
■
Windows
■ Do not attach any stickers to the filaments or glass antenna - there is risk
of damage.
■
Covers of electrically heated seats
■ Do not clean with water or other liquids - there is a risk of damage to the
heating system.
■ Do not dry by switching on the heating.
■
Seat belts
■ Allow to dry before rolling up the seat belts.
Note
During vehicle use, the leather and Alcantara ®
parts may show minor changes

The fuel tank has a capacity of about 66 litres, including a reserve of approx.
6 litres .
WARNINGFuel vapours are explosive - can be fatal!
CAUTION
■
Never drive until the fuel tank is completely empty! The irregular supply of
fuel can cause misfiring, which can result in damage to parts of the engine and
the exhaust system.■
Immediately remove any fuel that has spilled onto the vehicle's paintwork –
risk of paint damage.
■
If you would like to operate your vehicle in countries other than those with
its intended weather conditions, please contact a ŠKODA Partner. They will tell
you whether the fuel specified by the manufacturer is offered in the accompa-
nying country or whether it is permissible to operate the vehicle with another

›
Once a tyre inflation pressure of 2.0-2.5 bar is reached, turn off the air com-
pressor. Maximum run time of 6 minutes » .
›
If you cannot reach an air pressure of 2.0 - 2.5 bar, unscrew the tyre inflation
hose

from the tyre valve.
›
Drive the vehicle approx. 10 metres forwards or backwards to allow the seal-
ing agent to “distribute” in the tyre.

back onto the tyre valve and repeat
the inflation process.
›
Stick the corresponding sticker

on the dashboard in the driver's field of
view.
Once a tyre inflation pressure of 2.0 – 2.5 bar is achieved, continue the journey
at a maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).
WARNING■ If the tire does not inflate at least. 2.0 bar, the damage is too great. The
sealing agent cannot be used to seal the tyre. Stop driving! Seek help
from a specialist garage.■
The tyre inflation hose and air compressor may get hot as the tyre is be-
ing inflated – risk of burning.
CAUTION
Switch off the air compressor after running 6 minutes at the most – risk of
overheating! Allow the air compressor to cool a few minutes before switching
it on again.
Information for driving with repaired tyres
Read and observe
on page 285 first.
The inflation pressure of the repaired tyre must be checked after driving for 10
minutes.
If the tyre inflation pressure is 1.3 bar or less
›
The tyre cannot be properly sealed with the breakdown kit.
Do not drive
the vehicle! Seek help from a specialist garage.
If the tyre inflation pressure is 1.3 bar or more›Set the tyre pressure back to the correct value » page 277.›
Continue driving carefully to the nearest specialist garage at a maximum
speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).
WARNINGA tyre filled with sealant has the same driving characteristics as a standard
tyre. The following guidelines must be observed.■
Do not drive faster than 80 km/h (50 mph).

a specialist garage.■
Do “not repair” the fuses and do not replace them with stronger ones - it can
cause a fire and could damage parts of the electrical system.
